mod kill switch into a headlight switch?

Recommended Posts

Found nothing with a search but it seems like I read about someone who changed there kill switch into a headlight on/off switch for off-roading. I would like to be able to turn the head and tail light off with that switch. Anyone tried it or know of a link? Thanks in advance.

I meant in a panic situation. I hope most would agree , another type of switch setup would be better. If you ever have a throttle hang etc. you will not be able to leisurely take a hand off of the bars and turn the key off.

That is an excellent point! I guess I should look for a nice waterproof switch. Thanks Motor-N

Today’s sportbike batteries are smaller and lighter than ever, and are easily drained during startup and slow city driving. LP USA’s on/off switches for motorcycles with H4 headlight bulbs cure this problem. Installation takes less than five minutes. Choose between handlebar mount or universal panel mount.

If you look at the difference between the UK style RH control diagram and the USA model you can see the 2 wires you need to switch on and off with a DPDT switch from radio shack or where ever. One of them is gray...damned if I remember the other. If you get stumped yell maybe I can help more

Yep! And the odds are you didn't use up that last 3' between you and the 25' drop off the trail, or that speeding SUV bumper. You always ride with your brakes and clutch covered, in gear and with good traction, don't you?
